Ceiling fan causes fire KATIE PARK NEWS EDITOR

A fire caused by a bathroom ceiling fan erupted in flames in a 50 Union St. apar tment unit last night, said Tom Dobkowski, deputy chief of the New Brunswick Fire Depar tment. No injuries were repor ted.

Dobkowski said he was unsure how the fire exactly started but said the incident appeared to be accidental in nature.

He said he believed the resi-

dent(s) in the apartment at the time to be Rutgers student(s).

Dobkowski said he was also unsure of the exact dispatch time. but said there was a waiting period of two minutes or less between the time NBFD was dispatched and the time they arrived at the apartment unit.

The odds of being attacked by a shark are one in 3,740,067, while a woman’s odds of being sexually assaulted are one in six.

This was just one of the dozens of student responses to the “iSPEAK” social media campaign that Sarah McMahon read aloud at yesterday evening’s town hall meeting, “RU Talking About Sexual Violence on Campus?”

The town hall meeting took place in the Multipurpose Room of the Busch Campus Center. The panel, which included a member of the Rutgers University Police Department (RUPD) and directors of key offices on campus, discussed what is being done about sexual violence on campus before opening up to questions

from the audience.

Sarah McMahon, associate director on the Center on Violence Against Women and Children, spoke about the “iSPEAK” online campus climate survey. The “iSPEAK” social media campaign was led in conjunction with Residence Life to ask students why combating sexual violence is important to them.

Sexual violence on college campuses is not new, she said, but its attention in the media has presented an opportunity to create a dialogue and foster change.

Rutgers is unusual in that the University began developing programs against sexual violence in 1991, and has been continuing work since then, she said. Last fall, “iSPEAK” was open to all Rutgers students.

A total of 11,738 students complet-

ed the survey, which is a 28 percent response rate, she said. The results of the survey will shed light on student experiences with sexual violence, the perception of how the University responds to sexual violence and student willingness to intervene. The results will be available to Rutgers students by this summer.

“We have also conducted a number of focus groups which include a number of different groups on campus,” she said. “We met with the LGBT community, members of the cultural centers, fraternity and sorority members, athletes, members of student government and more.”

RWJMS selects Sherine Gabriel to be new dean MEGAN JOSEPH STAFF WRITER

The decision of who would be named dean of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) was determined through tight competition, said Brian Strom, chancellor of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS).

“We attracted an extremely strong pool of candidates, (such as) other deans of schools,” Strom said. “The committee had a hard choice and I had a hard time with the finalists.”

On April 2, Strom officially announced Sherine Gabriel, the current dean at Mayo Medical School, would start her term as dean of RWJMS as of this August, through a press release.

As chancellor, Strom oversees deans from all eight schools under RBHS and is in charge of choosing the search committee, as well as the committee chair who names new deans of each school, he said.

From the three candidates the committee chose, Strom inter-

viewed each one and made the final decision.

Strom said he believes Gabriel is a terrific leader, extremely accomplished scientist and great teacher.

Gabriel spent years receiving research grants with a large department at Mayo Medical School.

In the final steps of the process, Strom provided Gabriel with the experience to interact with faculty and students at RWJMS, he said.

Strom’s expectations of the new dean include being a partner in building a world-renowned academic school, he said. “(Gabriel) is very committed to education,” Strom said. “The students will see this ... We’re very excited that we had the ability to recruit someone like her.”

When Gabriel arrives in August, the school will hold a small celebration on her behalf, Strom said.

Rutgers is also a member of the Workers Rights Consortium (WRC), an independent labor rights monitoring organization that conducts investigations of conditions in factories worldwide, Miranda said.

“We look forward to continuing to make progress with USAS because Rutgers University has a long and proud history of supporting workers’ rights and promoting safe working conditions around the world,” he said.

Rosenthal said the meeting with administrators will likely be different from meetings in the past because the campaign has

had time to grow and build. Last semester, the administration told USAS members to do research on the topic and figure out the financial aspect of the situation.

The members of USAS work with the Workers Rights Consortium (WRC), which Rutgers and many other universities around the country fund, Rosenthal said. After working with the WRC, Rosenthal said it is clear there are three potential apparel factories that produce ethically, but Rutgers only sources about 3 to four percent of apparel from one of those factories.

“Now we are fully prepared to say we know we have the power to implement this,” Rosenthal said.

There are two other colleges in

the United States that are currently running the same campaign, the University of Illinois-Chicago and Grand Valley State University, Rosenthal said. Rutgers has already been “revolutionary” in their support for sweat-free apparel, which was exemplified when the University cut sourcing last year from multiple companies producing in sweatshop conditions.

“We have been doing research this whole semester to make sure that when we do meet with administrators on the 22nd, we have all our facts in order and present a clear case on why this is possible,” Rosenthal said. “...This is going to create a market for sweatfree apparel, which is essential.”

U. recognizes April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month FRANCESCA FALZON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Every April, advocates rally on a national scale in support of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Coordinated by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, the movement is an effort to promote awareness, ensure safer campuses and prevent sexual assault.

In January 2014, President Barack Obama pushed for legislation that would improve procedures following sexual assault scenarios on U.S. college campuses, according to Rutgers Today. Rutgers was the first school chosen to pioneer the climate survey project.

The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) submitted a 16-page document outlining their recommendations to the White House Task Force, according to their website.

Ninety percent of sexual assaults are being committed by 3 percent of college males, indicating a pattern of repeat offenders making the same conscious decisions, according to RAINN. The University is bringing the issue of sexual assault to light through various programming events, including the “iSPEAK” survey, focus groups and town hall meetings, said Ruth Anne Koenick, director of the Office for Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance (VPVA).

Sexual violence is an umbrella term that includes sexual assault as well as other behaviors such as inappropriate touching and language, Koenick said.

VPVA is the primary resource for University students who have been the victim of a crime, Koenick said. The services are free of charge and range from extensive

With one in five women and one in 59 men being sexually assaulted, University members are showing their support for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY EDWIN GANO / ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR information that can be found on their website to call support around the clock.

All counseling services are strictly confidential and open to all students, she said. VPVA is one of three on-campus services that provide such support, along with health services and Counseling, ADAP and Psychiatric Services (CAPS).

A study conducted by the National Center for Victims of Crime, along with the Crime Victims Research and Treatment Center, found that about one-third of all sexual assault survivors develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The ef fects of such violence have far reaching and devas-

tating consequences that can impact the mental health of the victimized par ty involved, according to RAINN. This is why all students should be made aware of the suppor t services available.

“I think we could always talk more about (sexual violence),” Koenick said. “One of the issues that I always have with an awareness month is that sexual assaults happen all the time and not just something that happens in April ... we need to talk about them all (throughout the year).”

Between 75 and 80 percent of victims personally know their perpetrator, according to a previous article in The Daily Targum.

“It really is a crime of not being strangers, and that changes how other people view it,” Koenick said. “If we believe that (stranger rapes are) the only kind of sexual violence that happen, then when somebody is raped by someone they know ... we tend to question that person.”

According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in five women and one in 59 men are the victims of sexual assault.

Most cases occur before the victim is 25-years-old, making it imperative that colleges advocate for sexual assault prevention, according to the CDC. On the evening of April 15, members of the University’s greek community took part in a march honoring those who have sur vived sexual assault, according to a previous article in The Daily Targum.

The rally was held to promote sexual violence prevention and dispel the idea that the greek community promotes sexual violence, according to the article.

Amreen Qaiyum, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore,

said her residence hall offers events that encourage residents to participate in violence prevention.

Organizers make the events sound fun so students are motivated to attend and learn more about sexual assault and prevention, Qaiyum said.

On April 22, the Women Organizing Against Harassment (WOAH) is taking a stand and speaking out against “sexual and gendered violence” in the community, according to their Facebook page.

Take Back the Night 2015, scheduled to take place on Douglass campus, is part of a broader national effort, according to the Take Back the Night national website.

Universities can do a lot more when it comes to sexual assault awareness, said Ashley Garcia, a School of Arts and Sciences firstyear student. More events and more flyers can be used to help better inform the students.

“I think it’s a very necessary month,” she said. “We talk about (sexual assault) a lot, but only when bad things happen as opposed to bringing it to the attention of students everyday.”

CRIME APRIL 15 JERSEY CITY — Christopher Murrell was arrested and accused of hiding eight glassine bags of suspected heroin in the back seat of a police car. He is charged with numerous drug counts, including distribution of suspected heroin within 1,000 feet of Snyder High School and within 500 feet of the Glenn D. Cunningham Public Librar y.

APRIL 15 FOR T LEE — Yadir Araujo and John Gaudin have been arrested for allegedly recruiting and managing two 17-year-old sisters as prostitutes. They are charged with human traf ficking, promoting child prostitution and endangering the welfare of a child.

Both men were initially taken into the Bergen County Jail and held in lieu of $250,000 bail.

APRIL 15 CLIFTON — Four teenagers, ages 15, 16, 17 and 18-year-old Emilio Martinez-Ferro, used a folding knife to rob a 14-year-old and 15-year-old of their cellphones. The teenagers have been arrested and charged with armed robber y.

APRIL 14 DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA — New federal charges of Medicare fraud involving tens of millions of dollars were filed late Tuesday against Solomon Melgen, the Florida eye specialist involved with Sen. Rober t Menendez (D-NJ) for alleged briber y and indicted along with him. The new charges, accuse Melgen of falsely diagnosing patients with potentially blinding eye disease and fraudulently billing Medicare for doses of an expensive drug he did not buy.

legal side of sexual violence and how the RUPD responds to cases.

Overall, the RUPD is a criminal investigative arm of the University for sexual assault, he said, but most importantly provides support for the victims. The RUPD deals with sexual assault victims at a critical time, and the moment is emotional for both the victim and the officer.

“I remember transporting a victim and thinking ‘Wow, what do I say?’” he said. “There’s no icebreaker for that conversation ... We have to ask questions about what happened and have the victim relive that moment. The last thing a victim wants to hear is how their clothes are now evidence and to change into something else.”

Collaboration begins with a communal approach in the department and an effort by officers to make the victim feel safer, Cop said. Students get in touch with RUPD in a number of ways, whether its an anonymous call to report an incident or coming from the hospital.

“The more we are seen as approachable, the more information comes forward,” he said. “We are happy to see a rise in reporting, because that means we have more people coming forward. We know that sexual assault is underreported not only at Rutgers, but across the country.”

In terms of sexual assault inves-

tigations, Cop said the RUPD takes initial reports, ensures victims receive the services and support they need, establishes a crime scene and works with the prosecutor’s office.

Ruth Anne Koenick, director of the Office of Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance, said student activism is the driving force behind social change with sexual violence.

When Koenick was a student in the 1970s, she said students led change on campuses across the U.S., and this continues to be the case.

The Office for Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance has a crisis intervention hotline, which means someone is on call every hour of the day, she said. The office also provides counseling and equips survivors of sexual violence with important information to make decisions with.

“If they want to go to the police, we’ll go with them ... If they want to file charges with the Internal Code of Student Conduct, we’ll help them through that,” she said. “We will do whatever they need.”

Prevention work is equally as important as the response to sexual violence, Koenick said. This ultimate goal of preventing sexual violence is being met with bystander intervention programs and comprehensive training.

“What I want is to be unemployed,” she said. “Unemployed because there is no more (sexual violence on campus).”

committee to select the new dean of RWJMS. “We had a very rigorous search committee with representation across Rutgers and beyond in terms of the members,” DiPaola said. “With a well balanced and expert search committee, members were carefully selected in a unbiased and comprehensive way.”

As part of the committee, DiPaola interviewed a pool of more than 50 qualified applicants and narrowed it down to 16 for personal interviews, he said.

This was a standardized process with similar questions, DiPaola said. In order to address key questions from all schools, the representation included people across the University system.

The caliber of candidates was the best nationally, and ever yone on the committee agreed on the final three candidates that were sent to the chancellor, DiPaola said.

“Sherine is amazing, she’s absolutely exceptional as a candidate and has already had experience,” he said. “We are very pleased as a committee with the caliber of applicants and the high caliber of the final group to the chancellor.”

Gabriel’s academic background is strong, and it will be important to build the academic mission of the medical school,

DiPaola said. The committee felt she was the best after considering her experience as dean of the Mayo Medical School.

DiPaola’s expectations for Gabriel include increasing the standards of research, clinical care and teaching at RWJMS. He also wants to increase its standing and

rank as a medical school once she becomes dean.

“I think that the students should be very pleased that they’re applying to a school with a dean of the highest caliber that will grow and continue to strengthen their education,” DiPaola said. “I’m very proud of Rutgers to have recruited a leader like her.”

Before being recruited by the search committee’s headhunters, Gabriel did not have any experience at the University, Gabriel said. She has known the chancellor professionally on-and-off in the past, but she had more knowledge

of the people at Rutgers than the University itself.

It was difficult telling whether the competition was tight or not, Gabriel said. In the first round of interviews, the committee kept all of the candidates separate from each other, and she did not have an idea of how many people there were.

“My first thought (about the position) was that it would be very exciting,” she said. “It was clear that Robert Wood Johnson was an institution on the move. One of the things I missed was being involved with a comprehensive university like Rutgers.”

Gabriel wants to strengthen the spirit of innovation at the school, basic and clinical research, as well as health care delivery, she said. It is important to keep the advancement of the school open and support positions with health care technology.

Collaboration is also very important, and learning from one another will influence finding unique collaborating opportunities, Gabriel said.

Gabriel said she encourages students to take advantage of her dean’s hours when she takes the position in August.

She said she wants to know as many students as possible with an open-door policy.

Gabriel does not have any worries about entering the position, but said she knows it will be a lot of work with an uncertain outcome.

“I really liked the on-site, oneon-one experiences,” she said.

“In that period, you get a sense of the people with whom you’ll be working, and that was very positive for me.”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Fashion photographer finds inspiration in art, environment DANIELLE GONZALEZ ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

When she’s not behind the lens, Annie Pollock can be found nestled in Caffé Bene sipping on a “Very Berry Frappuccino” contemplating her next photo shoot.

Pollock, a Mason Gross School of the Arts senior majoring in fine arts with a concentration in photography and a minor in art history, is an avid photographer with a passion for fashion and beauty, with a strong belief that fine art can influence fashion and vice versa.

She received her first camera, a digital point and shoot, as a gift from her father for her 13th birthday. She continued to play with that little camera until her sophomore year of high school, when her father realized her passion for photography.

“He got me my first DSLR, and I still use it to this day.”

Pollock has come a long way since her point and shoot days, now organizing, shooting and directing photo shoots for fashion magazines, jewelry collections and beauty looks.

Recently she did a photo shoot with a fellow Mason Gross student concentrating in design. Her friend

had created a variety of drawings and designs that she wanted projected on her body and for Pollock to photograph.

“The shoot went great … I’m giving sneak peaks of it on Instagram,” she added “It’ll be out this Friday.”

Although she dabbles in a variety of fashion photography, she admits that she has a very clean style and leans toward that in her photography. She added that she learned a lot about lighting and technology from her classes in Mason Gross.

Pollock is very involved in the creative process during a photo shoot. She believes that as a photographer you need to be the one to think of the whole concept and know what looks best.

During her time working with other photographers, stylists, models and makeup artists, she has realized that her favorite thing about photography is networking.

“I love networking,” she beamed.

“It’s so interesting to hear other peoples stories as you’re working with them to make this project … you can pull together so many ideas from different people and create this huge thing, it’s even bigger than you originally imagined.”

Pollock admits that this grand scale of collaboration can get complicated when people aren’t punctual, explaining that everyone involved in a photo shoot is like a part of a puzzle and that if one person isn’t there the idea can’t come together.

Pollock enjoys taking photos at Rutgers Gardens with her Nikon D300, especially in the bamboo forest because she finds it very serene.

“I might have green thumb,” she joked. “My grandma taught me all about flowers … it helps me kind of clean my mind.”

Family has played a huge role in Pollock’s photography — from her first camera, to serving as a source of inspiration. She shared that her mother and father have always been extremely supportive of both herself and her brother, who is also an art student and are always there to cheer them on.

For those interested in pursuing photography, Pollock advises to shoot as much as possible. She recommends looking at different photography websites for inspiration and ideas but doesn’t think beginners should feel committed to any particular style.

Annie Pollock, a Mason Gross School of the Arts senior, shoots fashion photography. DANIELLE GONZALEZ / ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR “Don’t feel like you have to settle for one thing,” she said. “Go with the motions and see what feels best.”

In the future, Pollock dreams of being able to commute into New York City to work with various designers, models and makeup artists, perhaps at a magazine like Nylon, a publication she loves.

As of right now she is planning her next photo shoot, a clothing

line designed by another Mason Gross student. A project they plan on editing heavily to incorporate both their strengths and skills.

“We want to incorporate my lighting and photography skills and her graphic design skills both on the computer and on the textiles” You can check out glimpses of her latest projects on Instagram @ anniepollockk and see a collection of her work at www.ampollock.com.

​Justified ban on genetically-editing human germ line UNDER THE MICROSCOPE VANDANA APTE

I

magine a world where you could choose the characteristics of your child, from eye or hair color to the degree of his or her intelligence. Many people recognize the moral issues inherent in eugenics, roughly defined as improving the human race through selection for desired characteristics. The potential for genetic discrimination against “imperfect people” would become a real concern. If the procedure were expensive, the gap between the rich and the poor would only increase. And perhaps diversity, one of the qualities that we cherish in our population, would greatly diminish.

For many of us, this scenario seems like something out of a standard-issue science-fiction film — something that might be possible tomorrow but most definitely not today. However, with new gene-editing technologies, no longer is this an issue of the past, that fictional scenario now has the potential to become a reality. It is now possible, with today’s technology, to create a genetically perfect race. What a creepy thought, huh?

So it is of no surprise that a few weeks ago, when rumors began to spread about scientists attempting to try a new gene-editing technology on human embryos, scientists from the International Society for Stem Cell Research called for a moratorium on using gene-editing techniques to alter the human

germ line (the sperm and egg cells that carry genetic information from one generation to the next).

Genetic modifications to somatic cells, or body cells other than sperm or egg cells, have been utilized for several years to cure some genetic diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, hemophilia, sickle-cell anemia and certain cancers. Through this process of gene therapy some somatic cells are extracted from a patient, genetically engineered and then placed back into the patient’s body.

The idea is that the procedure will “fix” enough somatic cells, that when those cells

In fact, the technology is so efficient that it has become easier than ever for scientists to cause mutations in germ line cells — mutations that could be helpful in eradicating genetic diseases. Such mutations could “fix” one patient’s germ cells, and thus, all the patient’s children would have that “fixed” gene as well — the technology has the potential to cure genetic diseases across multiple generations.

Still, there are practical and ethical concerns to altering germ cells. For one, the procedure is not one hundred percent accurate, and the long-term effects are unknown.

“Prematurely using this new technology before standards and regulations are in place could put an end to research that aims to discover new cures to genetic diseases.” divide and spread the healthy genetic code, the patient will consequently be cured of the genetic disease.

In 2012, scientists from the University of California, Berkeley developed an efficient gene-editing technology, known as CRISPR-Cas9, which has made gene therapy procedures easier to carry out. The technology works by using RNA that recognize specific sequences of DNA and then mutating the DNA at those precise locations. Not only is the technology fairly easy to use, but it is also allows researchers to edit genes in ways that were impossible prior to the advent of CRISPR-Cas9.

Sometimes the CRISPR-Cas9 technology targets sequences of DNA that lie outside the intended target gene sequence and undesired mutations result. Not enough research has been done to determine what the effects the procedure are over multiple generations.

The lack of data and unknown future effects prove that informed consent to potential patients undergoing germ-line therapy would be difficult to provide. Many scientists also worry that if we begin experimenting on human germ cells, complications could arise that could compromise research funding in gene therapy fields. In essence, prematurely using this new technology before standards

and regulations are in place could put an end to research that aims to discover new cures to genetic diseases.

Some have pointed out that genetic modifications that affect multiple generations have already been approved by the United Kingdom, which approved using in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures to produce three-parent babies a few months ago. In this procedure, which aims to cure mitochondrial disease, the embryo’s genetically faulty mitochondria are replaced by genetically healthy mitochondria. Because these new mitochondria can be passed on to future generations, this procedure can be viewed as a genetic alteration to the germ line. Perhaps this IVF procedure is seen as a more ethically acceptable procedure than using the CRISPR-Cas9 technology because the IVF is limited to mitochondrial DNA, which contains very few genes, and because the IVF cannot target specific sequences of DNA. Nevertheless, this slim distinction begs the question of where to draw the line in regards to altering the human germ line.

By what means is it ethical to cure genetic disease? And what constitutes a genetic disease anyway? Until a strong line between the moral and immoral is established by legal regulations, I believe that the scientists had the right idea in putting a temporary halt to germ-line modifications using CRISPR-Cas9.

Administration’s response to sexual assault sub-par COMMENTARY RAVEN JENERSON

L

et me begin by stating that I appreciate The Daily Targum’s boldness in publishing the article titled, “Rutgers student criticizes University after sexual assault,” and bringing attention to an issue that is not unique to our college campus. I can say that most of the issues I have with this article are not technically based on the writing skills or point of view expressed in the article, but more strictly based on the facts of the case and the realities of our University policies.

I was first floored by the University’s Code of Student Conduct as it pertains to the case –– the primary reason being that the University Code of Student Conduct does not already have an existing legal and working definition for consent pertaining to sexual assault and rape cases. With large, reputable universities under investigation for their processes or lack thereof in these cases, one would think that our administration would deem it necessary to establish this definition. Which brings me to this: Where are these alleged guidelines and procedures that the administration felt drew a grey area? Again, I find it odd that

“

these policies are not clear, nor are they publicized. Consider the honor code: Upon all University syllabi there are clear statements about the intolerance of plagiarism — there is even a link provided to where students can find more information of the process that will follow the act of plagiarizing. Where is the urgency to maintain order in public safety as it is reinforced in academia? Administrators admit to not being able to define consent. However, it is

witness the Code of Student Conduct and its processes make the victim responsible for the actions of their perpetrator. For it to be stated that the perpetrator would need to be off-campus for the three semesters until his victim graduated, is absolutely mind numbing. It is mind numbing to think that the University would downplay the severity of rape and put other students at risk of victimization by sexual assault and/or rape, feeling as if they did the right thing in doing so.

“My largest complaint with the University, however, is their actual response. The administration has neglected to train against victim blaming and bystander intervention.” imperative to recognize that consent takes on many forms and should be carefully and individually reviewed against a clear definition. So, without a clear set of procedures and definitions, the Code of Student Conduct will continue to prove ineffective.

My largest complaint with the University, however, is their actual response. The administration has neglected to train against victim blaming and bystander intervention.

It is discouraging to me as a Douglass Residential College student leader, who fights against sexual assault and rape culture, to

There is no secret as to why students would not want to go through the processes drafted by the University — the procedures and Code of Student Conduct do not protect the victims or potential victims of sexual assault and rape culture, but instead protects the futures and reputations of the perpetrators as well as discouraging victims from reporting these heinous crimes at all. No two victims or cases are the same and there is no “one size fits all” in persecuting these crimes.

But some things should always remain true: victims never ask to be raped, their previous

sexual histories should never be under scrutiny and it is never the victim’s fault.

“Now what?” was the question the article asks. The University should ask themselves and students if they are perpetuating a safe environment for students, faculty and staff members. Are their procedural actions condoning sexual assault and rape culture here on campus? What are more appropriate responses and actions to take in cases of sexual assault and rape? Will students ever trust that their University will do right by the victims? And when the University decides to seek these answers, there should be immediate action to turn negative answers into positive ones. I encourage Rutgers University to be on the right side of history, by showing their support and solidarity for the victims and survivors of sexual assault. I have a few suggestions to get them started: get educated about intervening and victim blaming, make procedures fair and transparent and join University students on April 22, 2015 for Take Back the Night, organized by “We Organizing Against Harassment,” as we march and rally to end sexual violence in all its forms.

Baxter fans season-high five to help Knights snap four-game winless streak

Bates ties single-season home runs record, Landrith ties all-time wins leader in sweep

CONTINUED FROM BACK four hits and three-earned runs on a pair of home runs by the Lions (19-12). Baxter also struck out five batters, breaking a previous high of four that he set earlier this season.

Between the second and seventh inning, Baxter retired 10 batters in a row and did not allow a hit until a home run in his last frame.

While Baxter pitched effectively on the mound, crediting pitching coach Casey Gaynor with a slight adjustment, he couldn’t keep track of how many punch outs he threw — perhaps the number was too high.

“I didn’t even realize I got a career-high in strikeouts. I thought I tied it with four,” Baxter joked. “I was just trying to get ahead and get the ball to our defense. They make all the plays for me. The offense got a big lead for me — it’s so much easier to pitch with a big lead. I have to thank the offense and defense, they did everything. I didn’t do anything but throw strikes.”

With credit for the win falling on Baxter’s shoulders and gaining praise from Litterio, the Waterford, New Jersey, native deflected some praise to that of the offense and defense behind him.

The Knights (12-23-1, 5-7) made the most of their opportunities on offense, scoring seven runs on only eight hits. Rutgers also walked three times and reached base on four hit-by-pitches.

Senior first baseman Joe D’Annunzio said he felt that the Knights took advantage of every opportunity given to them — a welcome change from the Indiana sweep this past weekend and the tie on Tuesday against Lafayette.

D’Annunzio said the biggest thing for Rutgers was its early attack, allowing enough timely hitting to support Baxter.

“We got runners on, got into good hitter’s counts and we cashed in today unlike other days, he said.

“Balls went through and we only had eight hits, but scored seven runs. When we get guys on and we move them over, we got to get them in. We don’t know how many runs we are going to need to score, so we just have to keep putting up. At the end of the day, we just have to score more runs than they do.”

For updates on the Rutgers baseball team, follow @TylerKaralewich and @TargumSports on Twitter.

CONTINUED FROM BACK freshman catcher put the visitors away for good.

After yielding three runs in four and one thirds innings, sophomore right-hander Shayla was pulled from the game in favor of senior lefthander Alyssa Landrith.

After giving up one run in the fifth, Landrith was able to stop the bleeding and finish the game with the composure and control the Knights are accustomed to. The southpaw earned the win and made history in the process, tying Juliette Brooks for the Rutgers all-time wins record with her 65th career win.

The Vacavilla, Calif., native was euphoric about achieving the milestone.

“I’m so excited about that. You come in here wanting to make an impact in the program, but tying or breaking a record exceeds my expectations,” Landrith said of her historic feat.

The Knights handed Villanova ace Brette Lawrence her fifth

loss of the year. Prior to today’s game, the Wildcats’ leading pitcher held a record of 9-4 and an ERA of 1.33.

Rutgers started the afternoon just as it ended it — on the winning side. The Knights emerged victorious from the first game of the evening, 3-1, after giving up the first run in the top of the third inning.

Senior left fielder Chandler Howard led the Knights, going 2-for-2 with a walk at the plate and driving in one run. Bates matched her fellow outfielder’s output, hitting the first of two home runs she had on the afternoon.

The elder Maddox, junior righthander Dresden, threw a complete game in the circle. She scattered five hits and one run, striking out nine Wildcats to earn her sixth win of the season.

“I felt good. I felt really loose and ready to go. My teammates made plays behind me, too, so that always helps,” Maddox said. “I was happy with it. It was really good to come

out and have a strong performance, especially heading into a Big Ten series this weekend.”

Rutgers will look to take the momentum gained in the three wins it earned midweek into Columbus this weekend. The Knights take on the Buckeyes on the road at Ohio State.

“For me, (the win) gave me momentum going into the

weekend. Overall, that’s what it was,” Dresden said. “Getting the three (wins) was just going into the weekend knowing we recovered from this past weekend and knowing going for ward we can do it.”

April 16, 2015 WOMEN’S LACROSSE RUTGERS-OHIO STATE, TONIGHT, 7 P.M.

Knights aim to contain Buckeyes ballyhooed offense BRIAN FONSECA STAFF WRITER

After missing out on its first three opportunities, the Rutgers women’s lacrosse team continues to pursue its first Big Ten win.

The Scarlet Knights (1-13, 0-3) travel to Columbus to face No. 13 Ohio State Friday night at 7 p.m.

ET, a game that will be nationally televised on the Big Ten Network.

The Buckeyes (10-5, 1-2) are currently fourth in the Big Ten, but that mark can be deceiving.

Ohio State’s two conference losses came at the hands of the nation’s top team, Maryland, and in a close 14-13 contest to Penn State in Happy Valley.

The histor y of the matchup is brief and even. The teams split two games played in the 2006 and 2007 seasons with the home team emerging victorious on both occasions.

The Buckeyes possess one of the most potent offenses in Division I, scoring an average of 13.6 goals per game to rank 15th in the nation.

Along with being efficient, their attack is extremely balanced.

Ohio State has eight players with goal tallies in the double-digits. A large factor in the equal distribution can be attributed to senior attacker Jackie Cifarelli, who dishes an average of 2.67 assists per game for the third-highest in the country.

Leading scorer Katie Chase benefits the most from Cifarelli’s generosity. She currently stands at 30th among all players in goals per game average, notching 2.79 goals every time she steps on the field.

The coaching staff has made the Knights aware of the versatility displayed by their hosts throughout the season.

“On the attacking side of the ball, they have a lot of threats.

They’re very balanced. Their seventh scorer has 19 goals,” said head coach Brand-Sias. “That’s

going to be a big challenge for us defensively so we’re preparing a lot of different looks, a lot of different defenses so we’re ready to change things up when we have to.”

The talent displayed by Ohio State in its front line is not reciprocated on the other end of the field, though. The Buckeyes allow a little under 10 goals per contest and play a looser brand of defense than what Rutgers has seen in the recent past.

The Knights look to exploit that vulernability.

“Their defense is a little different than the ones we’ve seen as of late. They’re playing more man-toman defense and sending doubles to dodgers,” Brand-Sias said. “Unless they throw something unexpected at us, they’ll be a little less high pressure than what we’ve been seeing lately. Our hope is that we can get into some more of our offensive sets.”

Stil pushing for its first Big Ten win, the weekly work put in

by Rutgers has only increased in intensity.

“(The preparation) has been intense. We’ve had really hard practices these past few days,” said senior defender Hollie DiMuro. “I think it’s going to be a good game.

I think we’ll hold them.”

The Knights have been working to improve in aspects of the game where they have been lacking throughout the season in this week’s preparation.

“We’re making adjustments in practice in order to do better in the game,” said senior goalkeeper Candice Dandridge.

“For example, we’ll work on something we’re not good at like 50/50 ground balls in the first 10 minutes of practice as opposed to doing stick work. We’re adjusting our practice and our personnel on the field to make it match with the speed of the game and the team we’re playing on the field.”

When previewing the matchup, Dandridge doesn’t hesitant to express her confidence.

“I’m very excited to play against them to be honest,” Dandridge said. “I’ve never played against them, and I don’t know much about them other than that they’re a good team but I think we’re going to step up and give them a game and win.”

Rutgers misses out on top quarterback GARRETT STEPIEN SPORTS EDITOR

In his most notable performance, senior golfer Jacob Stockl shot a second round, three under, 68 at the Colleton River Collegiate in 2013 to place ninth. YINGJIE HU / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / APRIL 2015

Senior seeks strong finish to career EVAN BRUNO STAFF WRITER

Jacob Stockl grabbed his driver from his black golf bag — the Big Ten logo inscribed in scarlet red letters on each side — and began his routine in the teebox.

The senior was ready to teeoff, but also ready to begin the final stretch of his career as a member of the Rutgers men’s golf team at the Big Ten Match Play in Florida this past February.

As Stockl put the ball on the tee, he was set to embark on what would be his last spring as a Scarlet Knight.

Stockl stepped back from the tee and started to prepare himself to hit the ball.

Once he has completed his preparation, Stockl lines up his feet and points his shoulders towards his target. Next, he bends his knees and is primed to start his swing. Once he assures his grip is correct, Stockl raises the club back and begins his backswing.

Afterwards, he powers the club towards the ball in his downswing and makes contact.

Stockl follows through and watches his shot glide through the warm, Florida air until the ball lands softly on the fairway.

The senior has made a habit of tee shots like this one — pure, rhythmic shots that arrive directly to their intended destination.

Jacob Stockl hales from Clark, New Jersey, where he was introduced to golf at a very young age and began to competitively at the age of eight years.

Stockl started playing at the high school level in 2008 as a student at Arthur L. Johnson High School in his hometown of Clark. His achievements as a high school golfer are nearly endless.

In both his freshman and sophomore years, Stockl won the Union County Tournament Championship. He was victorious in the tournament again in his senior year. The Newark Star Ledger named Stockl to its All-State team in both his junior and senior seasons. On top of that, Stockl was named most valuable player of Arthur L. Johnson golf in all four seasons.

He layed at the junior level as well and competed for the New Jersey Junior Ryder Cup team for three years.

After he graduated from high school in 2011, he chose to remain in his home state and enroll at Rutgers.

Stockl began his career as a Knight that fall and was successful right of f the bat, seeming to adjust well at the college level. Stockl played in two events in the fall of 2011 including the Rutgers Invitational where he had a plus three, 74 in the final round.

Stockl has had a stellar career as a Knight and his track record demonstrates that. In each of his seasons, Stockl has been one of the team’s top competitors and continues to bring that consistency each and every tournament.

Two events in particular stick out to him.

In 2013, the then-junior placed first at the Rutgers Invitational.

Stockl shot a one under, 70 in the first round, followed by a three under, 68 and an even, 71 in the third round. Overall, Stockl put up a four under, 138.

Stockl earned a ninth place finish at the Colleton River Collegiate last spring by shooting a 221. He hit a plus-one, 73 in the first round, and a plus-two, 74 in rounds two and three.

This season, Stockl is the lone senior. He’s had to embrace a larger leadership role than has been asked of him in the past, but he looks to lend his experience onto his teammates.

Despite the long and strenuous grind of the season, Stockl believes that all of the countless hours spent in practice working on the nuances of the game will pay dividends for the Knights.

“For the younger players, I would just have to say whenever we’re playing in competition just, you know, know that all the practices we put in will pay off eventually,” he said. “It may not pay off this week, it may not pay off next week, but if you practice ever y single day and do what you’re supposed to do and you look at yourself in the mirror at the end of the day and you know that you did ever ything you could to get better, then eventually it will pay off.”

Stockl prepared for the latter half of the 2015 season this winter inside of the Rutgers Indoor Practice Bubble. The facility of fered Rutgers a place to prepare for the spring as

the University golf course was blanketed with snow.

“We’ve done a lot of full swing exercises and full swing reps that really got us going towards the right direction,” he said. “I would say there’s really no negatives about our practices. We’ve been making a lot more of the right moves going forward, and it’s showing up. I think we’re in a lot better spot where we keep getting better.”

This past fall, Stockl was awarded Big Ten Golfer of the Week. Last weekend, he helped guide his team to a fourth place finish at the Princeton Invitational behind a tie for 27th place in the individual standings in the 72-player field. He shot a plus-11 for the tournament after a round one, 79 and second round, 72 for a total of 151.

Stockl had one of the top score cards in the round two with plus-two.

The senior was not satisfied with his team’s high placement and knows that it can do even better.

“I mean obviously, we played well,” said Stockl. “But we want to win every event we play. We definitely moved up some spots today, but we want to win. ... We can always do better and try to win every (time) we play.”

Head coach Rob Shutte was pleased with the way the team competed at the Princeton Invitational, especially Stockl.

“You know, especially after the last tournament where we were in position and went backwards on the last day,” Shutte said. “You know, you hate to leave that sour taste in your mouths, so it certainly sets up for a better week. You feel a better taste in your mouth when you finish that way.”

With just over 10 days left until the conclusion of the 2015 season, Stockl tries to keep the team focused for a strong finish.

His ideology stems from the mantra of former Rutgers head football coach Greg Schiano, who installed the mantra “Keep choppin’” into the University’s culture during his time in Piscataway.

“You just gotta keep up with that positive attitude and keep choppin’,” Stockl said.

When the Rutgers football team became the first program to extend a scholarship offer to Jarrett Guarantano, a 40-team race for the young quarterback’s talents got underway.

For the next four years, elite programs from all over the nation tracked the progress of the kid from Lodi, New Jersey, pitching recruiting sales to him, left and right.

On Wednesday afternoon at Bergen Catholic High School, that recruitment came to an end.

Surrounded by friends, family, coaches and media in Oradell, N.J., an emotional Guarantano propped an orange snapback onto his head when it came time to make a decision. He had verbally committed to Tennessee.

In an exclusive trailer produced by Bleacher Report, Guarantano could be seen strolling through Times Square before announcing his decision to pledge to the Volunteers.

The sequence throws a wrench in the Scarlet Knights’ recruitment.

For the past four years, Rutgers made its intentions to secure a commitment from the 2016 quarterback loud and clear.

Receiving a four-star rating as the top-ranked signal-caller in the state for his class, Guarantano’s responses to the recruitment operated by head coach Kyle Flood and his staff largely provided optimistic expectations.

Despite being sought after by the likes of a reigning National Champion and head coach Urban Meyer in Ohio State, Guarantano remained open to the idea of suit-

ing up in scarlet and white for his collegiate career.

With both of his parents graduating from Rutgers, he admitted the University has always felt like home to him. His father, James, starred at wide receiver from 1989-92 and was inducted into the Rutgers Football Hall of Fame in 1999 after hauling in 158 receptions for 2,065 yards and 11 touchdowns on the banks.

But even with all of the Rutgers blood involved, it wasn’t enough to hold off a late push by Tennessee head coach Butch Jones and his staff.

With the news of the 6-foot4, 196-pounder’s decision the Knights’ recruiting for 2016 takes a critical hit.

Rutgers still has four-star quarterback Dwayne Haskins on its radar, who ranks higher as the No. 68 overall recruit in the 2016 class, according to Rivals.com. The 6-foot-2, 188-pound prospect from Potomac, Md., grew up in South Brunswick and remains close to former Knights wide receiver Mohamed Sanu and current wide receiver commit Mohamed Jabbie.

Until Guarantano’s decision becomes official upon the signing of his National Letter of Intent next February, Flood and his coaching staff could still try to sway his mind.

But for now, Guarantano is set to be a Vol — a rough reality for Rutgers to cope with after its fouryear pursuit.

BASEBALL RUTGERS 7, COLUMBIA 4

RU bats provide pop for pitchers in win TYLER KARALEWICH CORRESPONDENT

For a squad that has been struggling to put runs across when it has mattered most, the Rutgers baseball team took the field Wednesday against Columbia with something to prove.

Sitting in ninth place in the Big Ten Standings, the Scarlet Knights needed to gain momentum offensively in the midweek game and bring it into the weekend series against Michigan State.

Behind the arm of sophomore right-hander Kevin Baxter, they were able to do just that.

With flashes of excellence and only two hiccups on the mound, Baxter boasted one of his best outings of the season and the Knights offense responded.

Rutgers ended the game with a final tally of eight hits in a 7-4 win against the Lions while Baxter collected his second win of the season with a career-high five strikeouts.

Head coach Joe Litterio couldn’t say enough about the performance from Baxter.

Going against a tough Columbia team, Litterio knew the task would be difficult for his midweek starter. “(Baxter) pitched outstanding,” Litterio said. “That’s a very good offensive team — they have guys who can hit it out of this ballpark with ease. He had only two hits going into the seventh inning. It was impressive how he kept them off-balance and get the amount of fly outs that he did. It’s good to see him get a win.”

Baxter took the challenge and went with it, going six and one-third innings to allow only Sophomore right-hander Kevin Baxter delivers to the plate during yesterday’s win over Columbia at Bainton Field. He fanned five over six and one third, allowing three earned runs on four hits in the 7-4 win. MICHELLE KLEJMONT / MANAGING EDITOR

Knights sweep double-dip, extend streak BRIAN FONSECA STAFF WRITER

Histor y was made at the RU Softball Complex on Wednesday, but it wasn’t because of the final score when an old Big East rival returned to Piscataway.

The Rutgers softball team swept Villanova in a midweek doubleheader for the second consecutive season.

The Scarlet Knights (23-12, 7-5) improved their all-time record against the Wildcats (19-21, 6-6) to 25-22 after winning the rubber match of the doubledip, 10-4.

A huge inning in the bottom of the fifth secured the win for the Knights. Freshman second baseman Meaghan Wells capped of f a five-run frame with a bases-clearing three-run double to extend Rutgers lead to 10-4, a lead that would not change.

The Maddox sisters were major factors in the Knights’ success in the series, each playing a significant part in one of the games.

In the latter match, the younger Maddox, freshman catcher Sierra, went 4-for-4, hitting the first two home runs of her career to lead Rutgers.

Maddox’s three run blast in the bottom of the fifth gave the Knights a 5-4 lead that they would not surrender for the remainder of the game.

“It’s really exciting. Any time something like that happens, it’s exciting and I was glad I was able to help the team today,” Maddox said of her home runs. “The first one, I couldn’t believe it. The second one, I was glad because it put us ahead. But it wouldn’t have put us ahead if the other two girls in front of me hadn’t gone on, too, so they were a part of it, also.”
